ArtnLight

I have been away for long and in a strange way resisted writing here. You know how it is when you haven't done something you love for long, you hesitate before you start again because it just means so much to you. But here I am and its been Diwali and like the rest of the world, we lit lamps, bought some new ones - which excited me :) How much joy a simple beautiful thing can bring. So the lamps are still sitting in front of me & I have not had the mind to pack it in. Sharing a few Diwali moments across the past days.

A simple string of lights thrown across my side table adds so much drama

I had fun pushing my lights around and shooting it in different angles :)

A pooja that's normally performed at home annually this time coincided with Diwali

Have finally shot some of my new range of Diwali products (the ones I still have a few pieces of) some I have sold out completely & have to make a fresh batch of. Will share my experiences and pics of both the exhibitions I took part in. Plus some home tours and some even more interesting people and their stories. Lots coming up on this blog, so stay tuned. God I've missed you guys and this space :) Welcome back :)

Its amazing to see how eye for detail, generosity and your artistic approach can grace everything you do. For me there is no bigger example of this than Christine Mason Miller.

I want to thank Christine for doing an interview of me called Rajasthan Dreams" in - hold your breath- Somerset Studio, an art & mix-media magazine in the USA I have the deepest respect for. I got to know in the thick of my work a month back that the interview was published when my reader Charmi Shah wrote to me about it and I wondered how I will get a copy. Charmi also sent me pics of the magazine sweetly. So imagine my happy surprise when I get a parcel & I open to see the magazine & the goodies which Christine 'just' graciously sent along.

Love the scripty wrapping paper

I am very inspired by how Christine makes sending a parcel a labour of love. She needn't have added the wall art or the bookmark or the handwritten card & yet she did it.

To hold my own copy in my hands & see myself featured alongside artists like Connie Freedman was an inimitable feeling. The magazine is packed with inspiration which I'd love to share with you in the days to come. More soon!
